  Certainly! Here's detailed information about the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WSD_MESSAGE237: Net Purchase Price will not be calculated for Order Type &
  
  Cause:
  This message occurs because the system is configured not to calculate the net purchase price for the specific order type used in the purchasing document or order. In SAP Materials Management (MM) or related modules, certain order types may be set up without price determination or net price calculation logic.
  Common reasons include:
  
  The order type is configured as a non-valuated order type.
  The pricing procedure or condition types relevant for net price calculation are not assigned or active for this order type.
  The system logic explicitly excludes net purchase price calculation for this order type (e.g., service orders, stock transport orders, or special procurement types).
  Missing or incomplete configuration in the customizing settings for the order type.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve or handle this message, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Order Type Configuration:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Materials Management ? Purchasing ? Purchase Order ? Define Document Types.
  Verify if the order type in question is set up to allow price determination.
  If the order type is intended to have net price calculation, adjust the settings accordingly.
  
  
  
  Review Pricing Procedure and Condition Types:
  
  Ensure that the pricing procedure assigned to the purchasing document type includes the necessary condition types for net price calculation.
  Check condition records and access sequences to confirm that valid prices can be determined.
  
  
  
  Adjust Customizing for Net Price Calculation:
  
  In some cases, you may need to activate or assign net price calculation logic for the order type.
  For example, in service orders or stock transport orders, check if the net price calculation is supported or needs to be enabled.
  
  
  
  Consult Business Requirements:
  
  If the order type is intentionally designed without net price calculation (e.g., internal orders, non-valuated orders), this message can be informational.
  No action may be required if this behavior is expected.
  
  
  
  Check OSS Notes / SAP Support:
  
  Search SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this message.
  Sometimes, SAP provides specific instructions or corrections for particular scenarios.
